WASHINGTON. WRIDAY..................Jume 14, 1895. yROSBY S. NOYES................ Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent eircetation much more than the combined cfreulation of the other Washington dailies. As n News and A@vertising Medium it has no competitor. 71m order to avoid delays, on ac- vount of personal absence, letters to WHE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply te THE STAR, or to the Editorinl or Business Depart- ments, according te tenor or purpose. This should, indeed, be a day of mourn- ing for the spoilsmen of America. The'r great stronghold at the capital has been carried by the storming party of the army of common sense in the civil service, and @t the present raté of progress the country will soon be wholly freed from the perni- cious thedry that the public bustness is fit material for party patronage. The action of the President last evening in signing the orier which places the Government Print- amg Office under the operations of the civil service law takes from the adherents of the idea that to the partisan victor belong the spotis of public office their last chance to ‘weather the storm of public disapproval. The result came rather sooner than was ex- pected. But It did not come a day too soon for the best interests of the country, not to mention those of the efficient workmen who are *now placed beyond the reach of the accidents of party suceess. The foolish claim that this order will make no differ- ence in the standard of efficiency of the printing office can be disproved, of course, only by the test of time, but that it will be disproved, and so completely that there will rever be any reasonable objection raised to the new system, no thoughtful observer of the course of the civil service law will doubt for a moment. The condition of the printers and others employed at this great estabiishment has been well described by some of their own number as distressing. They have gone about their work like peo- ple living under a reign of terror. The ax of official displeasure forever hung over their heads. Without the doors there was always a great, clamorous crowd, eager for their places, or for a chance to share their @one too liberal emoluments. The system of appointments was wholiy bad, and would always continue to be bad until the entire office was placed under the operation of a system which recognizes merit first of all and party last. The effect of the new order will be watched with great interest by all who are interested in civil service reform, ‘as well as by those who are concerned in the best interests of labor, for there is a Possibility that the new plan may have a bearing upon the status of the unions, though it is not apparent just now what the final result will be. The chief result of the order, it is now sure, will be to give to the country a better printing service, and to prevent the periodiea! seasons of great distress which have always marked the his- tory of this enormous shop as it has passed from one pylitical management to another throughout the fluctuations of partisanship. In no other case has there ever been so good a chance for the civil service commis- sion to demonstrate to the merchants of Washington that the merit system is a good thing for local business, masmuch as it makes employment more stable, and therefore strengthens trade and prevents losses by the granting of credit to those who may at any moment be deprived of their livelihood. Of course, the extension of the civil service law to a department of the government does not of itself displace completely the spoils system and establish the merit system. There are weaknesses and loopholes for evasion in the civil ser- viee law and in its application by spoils- men. But every such extension marks a step in the right direction on the road to ward an ideal condition of the government service Now let the fourth-class post offices and the District municipal offices be placed under the civil service law. ee - ‘The approaching Atlanta exposition will give Washington merchants and manu- facturers an invaluable opportunity to spread knowledge concerning themselves and their goods among people in the im- mediate territory below the capital, and ad- vantage should be taken of it to the fullest extent. An exhibit at an exposition such as that which will be held at Atlanta is an @bject lesson which is studied by thou- sands of strangers to the inevitable profit of those who give it. It is to be sincerely hoped therefore that those engaged in ad- vancing the industrial progress of Wash- ington will decide to take part in the demonstration at Atlanta and aid in giving the throngs of visitors a proper idea of the substantial business side of the Na- tional Capital. + + —___ Washington is one of the most moral cities in the world because the good peo- ple in it have recognized, attacked and re- duced to a minimum the wickedness which in some degree is inevitable in ¢very large city. Washington has a high reputa- tion for morality, because it is in fact a moral city, and not because its newspapers and people suppress the facts concerning local misdoing and cover and conceal every local wickedness. —__--++ ——-— Forty-six men were engaged upon the post-office building today, instead of about 460, which would have been a more ade- quate force in view of the stage of the work and the-necessity for hasie if the mural prophesy of completion in 1897 is to be fulfilled. —_—__ + «+ Jf the trust system in this country is ever destroyed its downfall will probably be attributed to whiskey. ——_ + + Dispatches have been sent out of Wash- ington in the past day or two to the effect that the “Detroit plan” for the relief of the poor, which was put in operation here this spring as an experiment, has proved a failure. This statement is based upon the fact that there have been fewer applicants for land to cultivate than was anticipated by some. There are now upwards of one- hundred families who have applied for ground and facilities with which to engage in agriculture on a small scale, while about sixty families have been given lots and seeds and have undertaken the work with every show of success. It is true that there have not been as many applicants for these privileges as there was reason to ex- pect would come forward when the oppor- tunity to help themselves was offered, but this result of the test of the character of our dependent population does not charac- terize the experiment as a failure. The critics of the Detroit plan attacked it as a project which invited the tramp and the loafer-from all parts of. the country to enjoy free potatoes at the National Capital, and which would enlarge and pamper and demoralize our dependent population. The advocates of the plan pointed out that a project of relief through work had no al- lurements for the unworthy and worthless and that so far from being overwhelmed by applicants for these privileges the diffi- culty would be to enlist self-helpers. The opinion of the plan’s defenders proves to be correct. No demoralization or injury of any sort has resulted from the experiment. Its effects in every way are beneficial, and the lessons taught by it are instructive and useful, and the test is consequently a suc- cess, Almost inexpensively to the com- ilies, who would otherwise “probably have been directly dependent upen local charity. It has also aided the city by serv- ing as a tramp-repellant, to those who are seeking alms, net work. The test of wil- lingness to labor when the means of self- support were offered has been applied to many persons upon the pedendent Nsts of the local charitable organizations. Some have been unable to till the soll, others have obtained different forms of work, while others, unemployed and physically capable, have been weighed in the balance and found wanting, and their names have been added to the black lists of the charita- ble organizations as ineorrigible loafers, undeserving of assistance if they apply for it next winter. The experiment has demon- strated that entirely too small a percentage of our dependent population is of the self- respecting, seif-reliant character that is best helped by self-help, but this condition cannot be effectively remedied until it is clearly and thoroughly understood. The Detroit plan helps to reform this condition by setting the worthy to work, by pushing the dubious and wavering toward self-sup- port, and by exposing and blacklisting the thoroughly unworthy. This experience sug- gests, as the census also shows, that there is a comparatively small population of very poor people in the District, and while there is annualiy a great demand upon the char- ity funds it would seem now, in toe ight of the present experience, as though pos- sibly the distribution of alms in the past had been somewhat out of proportion to the real, pressing needs of the people. —___~ ++ —____ ‘Were no other extraordinary event to hap- pen to mark the year 1895 as one of great achievements the continued ‘success ct the Washington Base Ball Club at its present pace throughout the season should suffice to that end. Even now the patrons of the game tn this city, who are numbered by the thousands, are wondering if it be not all a dream and are scanning the lists of the clubs with amazed eyes. Perhaps the hoo- dco that has so persistently hovered over the capital city’s base ball team has at last been discouraged or slain, or perhaps sur- Teited with success. Whatever happens, the present agers are making friends through thtir liberal policy in dealing with the people who go to the grounds. Twice they have given rain checks when the rules and customs of the game have not required them to do so, and they have begun to show some’ measure of commiseration for the suifering ones who in former seasons have been tortured by the blistering rays of the sun. Now let them erect an awning over the noisy but faithful bleachers and the already good attendance at the games will materially increase. There is nothing that pays in any kind of business better than liberality, and this has been found to be true in base ball quite as much as in any other commercial enterprise. —____+ e+ —___ It is announced that arrangements have been perfected at last whereby the elevated railroads of New York are to be equipped with electricity as a means of locomotion. This should have been done five years ago. It should now be done in the most thor- cugh and perfect manner possible, so that the raised roads of the metropolis will be models for all the world. Full-fledged steam engines have been permitted.to race through the streets above the ground, pour- ing forth their clouds of smoke and their showers of cinders, and travel on these roads has never been pleasant. The electric moter is so easily adapted to such struc- tures that it is a marvel that It was not utilized long ago. It will add to the com- fort of the passengers as well as of the residents, whose lives have been made miserable by the annoyance of having a puffing, snorting engine passing their win- dows every few minutes at all hours of the day and night. © —____++-«-____. ‘The detective is frequently a worthy ob- ject of sympathy.
